My first guess was that the stock was original, it certainily has the right patina for a SXS of that age. U can clean the stock and recut the checkering. There are also repo period recoil pads to be had.
BTW this quality of gun is not one to be practicing your craft on. For that you buy a Steven 311, Ithaca 12 GA Flues...etc..
Figure this if you were going to buy this spoon (eventually it will be sold), and are going to pay substantial money for this restored SXS would you rather have a guy with a known reputation for Restoration to have done the work or somebody who is an unknown quanity? That difference is about 25% in the value of the spoon. .
